A. A person may transport polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) which are contained in a totally enclosed manner in PCB
equipment without using a manifest provided that the PCBs are not discarded or
intended to be discarded. In addition, a person who discharges or suffers a
discharge of PCBs or who generates PCB contaminated material as a result of
routine servicing of off-site PCB containing equipment may transport that PCB
waste to a facility with an approved PCB management plan or to a Maine
hazardous waste storage facility licensed to handle PCBs without using a
manifest provided that the facility is under the control of the entity who has
care or custody of or who owns the PCBs waste.
NOTE: The generator-controlled facility which first accepts
the waste shall be the site of generation.
B. A person may transport universal wastes
without using a manifest, provided that the Uniform Bill of Lading referenced
in Section
4 of this Chapter or an alternative
form approved by the Department, or for small universal waste generators and
central accumulation facilities the log requirements of Section
13 of this Chapter, are utilized. For
the purposes of administering Section
13 of this Chapter, where the rule in
Sections
5,
7,
8, and
9 of this Chapter states "manifest" it
shall be replaced, as applicable, with "Manifest or Uniform Bill of Lading" and
when using the Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading, copies 6, 7,
and 8 (i.e., "Destination State - Mailed by Generator" copy, "Generator State -
Mailed by Generator" copy, and "Generator Copy", respectively) must be
distributed per the instructions for use of the Maine Recyclable Material
Uniform Bill of Lading printed on the back of the form.
NOTE: In 2008, the Department approved an alternative form
entitled "Maine Recyclable Material Uniform Bill of Lading." For shipments of
universal wastes, this form should be used in place of the previously-approved
"Recyclable Hazardous Material Uniform Bill of Lading". The Maine Recyclable
Material Uniform Bill of Lading form, as revised by removal of the word
"Hazardous" from its title, is approved for documenting shipments of Maine
universal wastes which are not included in the list of DOT regulated hazardous
materials, as well as universal wastes that are hazardous materials.
